Thank you, Council President. >> Pull up some of my notes for update. I wanted to share that this weekend we had the Polish American parade. For the very first time in 88
years, Council President, members of the city council, the city of Pake was asked to lead the parade in New York. We went with our police, our fire with Father Stefan and uh Eric Beginsky of the uh
Holy Rosary Church on Wall Street. where there were tens of thousands of individuals from the um Bergen and Pake County community throughout New Jersey that participated and Pay was at the lead. Um supporting our autism
community. On September 17th, I met with Autism New Jersey to discuss partnerships that will better support individuals with families in our community. We focus on access to services, programs, and strategies to make PAC more supportive, inclusive of all those with special needs. Council
President, they said hello to you in your other capacity. As they said, they're very aware of your advocacy and championing of all communities, especially those in the special needs community. We also celebrated the Mexican flag raising this weekend and parade where we had over 15,000
members uh participate at Palaski Park. It was a remarkable day and I want to report and I am proud to say that the city of Pake we had zero incidents, not a single incident in the entire day. I want to thank obviously all the
organizers, the community members, all those that visited our cities and of course our police, our fire, our volunteers, our emergency responders and everyone that had a hand in and took part in making that day so important.
and of course uh successful. We have participation from all over the state. It is the state Mexican parade. We have it every single year. This is one of the biggest years we've ever had. Council President, you're aware you participated in it as many others in the walking in
the ceremony, but it was impactful, especially so considering the times to see the children encourage families and other communities all come together. This Saturday we will have the Italian flag raising along with uh commissioner of the board of education Maryanne
Capers. I want to obviously thank her and her leadership. Uh we will be honoring two individuals vice principal Mr. trooper, John Troopa, as well as the memory and legacy of Dave Darco, who was uh the leader of Unico and who helped us
establish uh this uh most important program. As well as I would like to share that in terms of our city, we have continued our striping initiative. We striped all of Gregory Avenue as was shared weeks ago. We have received a lot
of positive feedback, council president, members of the city council. Um, we have increased parking spaces. We also did a high street that is complete. We're looking at Harrison Street at the top of the 100 steps and a few other options.
On a quick note, last night individuals may have seen a video of a minor explosion. Let me qualify. I can't see it, but I assume council president's eyebrows went up when I said minor explosion. Let me say why I say minor. Minor in the
sense that it was isolated to one manhole. did not result in structural compromise and did not impact the properties around the area. However, there was a buildup of methane gas underneath our streets. Uh there were some electrical issues and we had
witnessed smoke coming up in different areas around our manholes on Gregory Avenue High. PSCG were present. No one was hurt thanks to the brave and quick decision-making uh process of our firefighters to block off the areas to
stop people from coming in the area because while they were uh addressing the issue, no one expected for an actual explosion or rather a small explosion that lifted the lid off the manhole. Again, I'll reiterate no one was hurt. I also want to thank our police department
that responded immediately along with our firefighters. that kept pedestrians safe, stopped traffic, and uh address these concerns. I I also wanted to share that over the last week, we've had a lot of participation from the state. Most
notably, we've had both gubernatorial candidates come and address our community here in the city of Pakan share their platform and uh what they intend to do with urban communities. Today we have had a New Jersey anchor program delivering properties tax relief
to the residents of Pake and throughout New Jersey right at school number six led by our assemblymen of the 36th legislative district council president as well Gary Sher my office and of course his uh 36 legislative colleagues.
So that was extremely successful. very quickly some of our upcoming events. Tomorrow we have the futuro scene frontas hosted by the American Mexican Regional Chamber of Commerce inviting uh Mr. Remote who is a famous producer and
writer who has the number one Netflix film in Mexico right now to inspire the youth. The uh the title for St. Francas refers to having uh a future with no limits, no restrictions, nothing that
would stop or impede you from believing you can be all that you want to be. We're extremely excited about this event as there will be careerfare opportunities for the youth, inspirational speeches from these notable figures as well as police, fire,
um armed forces to explain potential careers in the future. So, we're excited about that. On uh Saturday at 4:00, we'll have our annual mental health walk led by our youth council in the city of Pate. On 11:15, we will have our breast cancer awareness day. Wear pink. On
11:15, we ask all the council members to join on that day. Wear pink. Send us a picture so we could post it up that the council members are supporting our uh our employees and the community. a pink hat, a pink shirt, um a bow tie, whatever that was specific for
Councilman Love. All right. And in 10:18, we have cops and bobbers, hooks and ladders, but we'll have free fishing with our police and our fire at Hughes Memorial uh Lake Third War Memorial Park Lake from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. It's one of our more popular annual events
where young people and families get to fish. Our lake is fully stocked with our police and fire. On 10:25, we'll have our fall festival and adopt a pet at Third Ward Park. Uh council president, members of the city council, we will actually have some of our pets that are
available for adoption from our shelter as well as pictures of pets that people can adopt. On that day on 10:27, we'll have our pumpkin painting family night senior center. And uh this week we want to wish all of our residents who are
observing the uh suk holiday members of the Jewish community a very blessed holiday. We know that this is a holiday season and a holy day observant season. On this particular holiday many members that build sukuts or these structures adjacent to their homes eat and
celebrate with their families. As always, we have our community one and we'll have a beautiful event on Friday with food and activities and uh welcoming the community as we continue to celebrate a very diverse community in just a matter of weeks. Um, we've had the Polish uh parade, the Mexican
parade, the Sukat celebration, the Italian flag raising, and so much more as we continue celebrating all of our communities and making our public spaces, our parks, and all of our resources available to everyone in our community. And at the end of the month, the Mexican community will be
celebrating the Day of the Dead as they uh look to remember their loved ones that have passed on, their connection to their loved ones. and we will continue to celebrate and share these upcoming events. Council President, as of right now, that is all that I have to share in
terms of the city. If you have any questions, you or the council members, I'm ready and available to respond. >> Thank you. Thank you, mayor, as always. And I did want to specifically mention the Mexican parade. Um I don't know how many thousands of people you said 15.
And and I'm sure that's that's the number. Uh but it was a wonderful experience. Um and 15,000 people together. There's always an issue and there was not an issue with this. >> Not a single not a single issue, council
president. We arrived to that number with our police chief. So on the 4th of July because we have carnival rides, twothirds of the park are blocked off and they usually count the number between three and 4,000. On that day, as there were no carnival rides in the
entire area, Palaski Park was open. It was packed from one end all the way to the other and into the streets. So, the police estimated three times as much people that typically come to our Fourth of July event were at that particular event.
>> Amazing. Just just simply amazing. We uh >> not a single incident. DPW cleaned up. The community all were very supportive, cooperative. Everyone followed all of the guidelines and directions from our police, from our fire. It's just a testament to the hard work that
government and community leaders have put in to foster a relationship of trust and support with all of our communities. And we've seen event after event with all of our communities, whether it's Holly at Third World Memorial Park with our Indian community, whether it's celebrating some of our Latino
communities, our Polish communities, our Italian communities, our Jewish American communities, or any other of our communities. We continue to see great support and wonderful, wonderful responses with a consideration of the entire community. >> Thank you, Mayor.
in my own community, uh, the Jewish holiday of Sukkot, which you were so kind to mention. I know that, uh, I've received several phone calls and people stopping me in the streets saying how excited they are. Once again, this is being sponsored by the city, by your office specifically. Um, it is such a
tremendous statement of of who you are and what this city wants to be and needs to be. I just wanted to thank you, sir. Again, any other comments from the mayor? >> Very good, sir. Thank you again. Uh at this time, we're working to room number five on our agenda minutes of the April
22 meeting. Are there any additions or corrections to the minutes? >> Seeing none at this time, the motion to accept the minutes is presented by the group. Second motion second, please. >> Councilman Love, >> yes. >> Councilman Mayor, >> yes.

Yes. Good evening. Joe Kosente, uh, council president, my first question I have is on Sunday they had the parade in New York. You had police and fire and many other people. The question I have on this, um, is the church fit in the
bill or the city fits the bill? That's my question to that. My next question is the intersection on Tulip and Oak Street. Um, it's a very dangerous intersection.
You just got cars just racing on Oak Street going through. You got children from the morning and afternoon crossing there. And the crossing guard got to be very careful there because it's a very bad intersection.
The question I have on this, is there any way that it could be looked into to maybe get a some of those stop signs with the LED lights on them or some kind of traffic light or something to slow the traffic down because that's a very
dangerous area. Um, my next question that I have, it's the property at 147 149 Broadway. This been brought up several times. This
property is loaded with garbage, loaded with high grass as of now. Um, I know the city has an ordinance. I don't know if the the lawyer could look it up here too. Chapter 219,
property maintenance. I mean, this property got so many violations. I don't understand why it's this long process. I know the guy's a builder.
Um, I know at uh one point they had shake um LLC. I don't know who that's referred to as a property owner. Um, you know, so many violations here. I I don't get it. You want a clean city,
but this is filthy. This is garbage. The building's falling apart. You know, maybe you should take a ride over here and take a look at it. Um my next question here is the parking authority
the workers from they work from 7 to 3 they do whatever they can at that time that they're working. The thing that I come up with is the problem we're having is the afternoon
from 3 to 10. Nothing is being done. You got all illegal parking. You just made those yellow lines on Myrtle Avenue and people ignore it. No parking there. You got all these violations and nothing is being
done from 3:00 to 10. Nothing is being done. The thing that I just found out is you got like two officers that's out there from 10 to 7. What are you going to do
10 to 7 10 o'clock at night to 7 in the morning? I don't know. It needs to be looked into or something could be done. I know some kind of survey, some kind of something to be done with this.
And my next question here is on Mr. Cy, let me interrupt you for just a moment. What is your your point on the parking authority? >> The the guys during the day is doing their job as normal, but when they go
home at 3:00, there's nobody out here. And you got all these illegal parking all over the place. They're blocking the corners. You can't make a turn. You can't do anything. If you got a truck parked on the corner, how are you going to go around it? And they're all in the yellow line.
So you have officers that's out here. Let them give them a ticket. Do something to help it out. Clear clear up this mess. This is it's getting worse. Not getting better. Getting worse. Double parking.
You got everything. You still got time. >> Yes. >> Place again. You got this illegal parking. Um,
nothing's being done with this. It's just ongoing every day ongoing. You got like 10 parks illegally parked. Then I just found out that there's two types of tickets that they give out. One is for parking on the sidewalk and
there's another one for illegal parking. So whichever one they want to give, it's ongoing issue. It's a big problem there. And uh one more here, uh Henry Street,
the angle parking. That's a narrow street. You could just about make a fire truck on that street. God forbid if one of those buildings burn. How are you going to get all this apparatus on this street?
with that ankle bing. There's other streets that it fits in, but Henry Street is a small street. I think >> this is my question. >> That's his time. >> That is your time, sir. >> And my question, >> so let's uh see if we can address some of these issues quickly. Number one, uh
you wanted to know who paid for the costs on at Sunday's parade. Mr. Fernandez, this is the one. This is the Polish sponsored by Holy Rose. >> That's correct. >> Yeah, please.
>> If I may, council president. >> Yes, Mr. Mayor. >> If I may, along with all parades, members of the community that wish to participate are free and often times many police officers express their interest, especially if they have a tie
to that community. Uh sometimes our Mexican officers or officers of Mexican descent will choose to want to participate in a parade as long as it does not conflict with their schedule. Similarly, as Councilman Dr. Love would
be able to share during the African-American Day parade, some police officers who are of African-American descent or background would want to participate or assist with the parade. Similarly, all officers were asked if they wish to volunteer. No officer went
while they were on duty. And these are individuals that were off duty and chose to participate. In terms of community event, we value our Polish community as we value all communities and have made the same opportunities available for every organization when they have their
activities. In terms of costs, all police officers went on their own. Uh again, none of them were conflicted with schedule. The city was fully staffed and manned. And in terms of any fees or anything that would have been a cost,
Holy Rosary would have been responsible for everything that was outside of volunteer or outside of what the city typically would provide for any other organization. Thank you. >> Very good, sir. Thank you. Uh, next, the gentleman raised the issue of tulip and
hope dangerous. Can we consider a stop sign of some sort? Madam, Mr. is if we could direct the administration to look at that intersection and and come back to us also in 147 149 grass garbage why no action to rectify.
>> So that that's his take on it. There's absolutely been action every time and there's even been action when he's asked and there's been nothing wrong in the site. When there is something wrong in the site we have issued violations. We have he complained about boarding it up. We boarded it up. That is an ongoing
issue. We continuously go and look at that facility. Uh every time that he comes up, we send somebody to go look at it and periodically our inspectors go to that site. >> Good deal. Thank you. On the parking authority workers, uh from 7 to 3, from
>> 2 to 3, whatever that's many inaccurate statements, >> they're very inaccurate as well. There's constant >> surveillance on there. There are night PEOs and there's daytime POS and there's police officers when there are no PEOs.
Mr. Fernandez, the council yields as always on matters of personnel to the administration. Uh we trust that if there are things that need to be corrected, they will be corrected on the uh also in terms of two tickets ongoing parking
sidewalk whatever we'll dismiss it for the same reasons. uh on Henry Street. Is there uh anything that the uh council should be aware of that's going on specifically? >> So, this is reviewed by our engineering department. The design is made by a
licensed engineer to meet all traffic safety uh sizing. So, we wouldn't have put angled parking somewhere where it didn't meet code. And the engineer drew it and we painted it according to the engineer's design. >> Good deal. Thank you, sir. Anyone else
wish to address the council? Oh, and if I may add to the that it added many parking spaces. I know the mayor has said it many a time. We're looking to add as many parking spaces as we can. And it doubled up the number of parking spaces in that area. And >> the council applauded the mayor's action in this and in so many other matters.
>> Yes, sir. Excuse me, Councilman Love. Forgive me. And just to reiterate um something, the police and um do have the option to tow any uh vehicles in an e situation. >> That is correct. >> So if someone's illegally parked or if
whatever apparatuses can't get by, they do have rights. So correct. >> That is correct. >> All right. Thank you. >> Very good. Thank you again. Anyone? Yes, sir. >> Good evening, councelor. I'm here to request >> if we can have your name for the record, not your address, but simply your name.
>> Sorry. My name is Henny Marcos. I live at 280 High Street uh between Van Hamilton and the railroad running at the end of High Street.
And uh I'm here to request as felting or paving the street. Uh the street several years ago was half of it as felted. Now all the way in in the middle there
is lots of broken damaging all across the street. Um, I have several videos and pictures that shows how is the middle part of the
street is all broken. I keep requesting for patches and they tell me the street have to be repaving. You have to go to the council and
request. I'm sorry my neighbors cannot be here tonight. I presented it for them but uh there is holiday so uh I don't know what steps it takes
to request for paving the street is it inspection and but uh I have a medical condition heart condition and shoulder and every time I go out my
I was I go through bumps bumps and uh I feel pain. So I'm kindly requesting that uh between Benhon and the railroad high street
should be paved or the middle sections should all be taken off and repaired whichever whichever you select if you kindly select. >> Marcus, thank you. Thank you for coming
tonight. Thank you for sharing me sharing with council and the administration your concerns. Um, traditionally, well, not traditionally, but all the time, the city has repaved roads dependent on any number of factors, most importantly, you utilage,
utilization, etc. Um, we share with the administration what Mr. Marcus said and we ask you to look into it and perhaps when streets are next being done, if there's any extra asphalt or whatever would be necessary, u, we'll leave that to the administration. Um and uh they've
been very uh very very good in the past number of years under Mayor Laura's uh toutelage. Um so let's see if we can uh quietly get this done. We thank you for being here tonight. >> Thank you. >> Anyone else like to address the council, please?

bids came in at this number. So the totality of the project is being funded through the state urban enterprise zone funding. >> Fantastic. I I just didn't see an ordinance. That's all. Thank you. >> On 29, Mr. Fernandez, I see that we are

Ride and they've Easy Ride's given helmets and we've gone to like different events and had people ride the bikes. >> Okay. Council President, if I may, >> Councilman Love. >> Um, where where can you locate I know I
understand there's a discount code. >> That's it. So, when you go on the app, the code is the first thing at the top of the app. >> Okay. >> Which gives you a free ride. >> Awesome. >> So, as of right now, um, everyone can get a free ride on the bike. >> Well, up to the first two hours.
Correct. >> Up to the first two hours. First two hours is correct, but as the mayor likes to mention, you just got to rerack it. put the code in again and you get another two hours. >> It is it's a great benefit to the community. The kids take advantage of it >> with the public.
>> Yes, Rick. >> Rick just cost us a couple million dollars. >> No, it's a it's a great opportunity for the youth and families to use the bikes. We want everyone to use them. We want them to travel around the city in the bikes. It it frees up space on the

Council President, I simply wanted to share. I want to commend the efforts of our police department who this week through a strategic operation, which I
can't go into full detail, but I will share. They were able to remove one kilo of uh cocaine off of uh our streets. They were able to identify individuals coming into the city as well as additional uh paraphernelia,
other drugs as well as weapons. Our police remain vigilant whether individuals are coming from out of state or other municipalities to ensure that they are protecting and serving and they are proactive in their investigation.
They are extremely professional and this particular operation though I cannot go into all the details for obvious reasons. I wanted to take the opportunity and even highlight what they took off the streets because their efforts result in uh in less incidents
of individuals having access to these deadly and horrible substances as well as they remove weapons off the streets. Every week, Council President, I could share all of the things that our police officers, our fire, and all of our emergency responders are doing, but this
is one example that I felt was important that the council would hear because it really does make a difference. >> Mayor, you said you used an amount. Could you repeat that? How much of cocaine?
>> A kilo. A kilo. >> I gather that's a lot. That is any any amount is too much in our city. But yes, that is a lot. >> Okay. And I and I assume that we work our police department works in tandem
with county, state, federal officials as well. In terms of >> Yes. Though this operation was specifically and exclusively within the city, obviously charges and the followup must be done working along with the prosecutor and giving information to the state. for this particular operation was
led, directed and uh fully by our police officers which as you mentioned you are correct many operations they work in collaboration with other levels of government sometimes even with the federal government FBI ATF uh alcohol tobacco and firearms but in this particular operation the reason why I
wanted to share it specifically is because it was an operation that they exclusively focused on and were able to deal with and I want to thank our captains our chief of First, everyone together, detectives, they were working very hard and came upon this because of
their excellent police work and were able to immediately address it and prevent these things from entering into our community. >> Excellent. Thank you. Thank you, sir. Thank you very much.
>> Uh comments of the council. Any comments at this time? Seeing none, is there a motion to adjurnn, please? So move second and second. Roll call to adjourn. >> Councilman Love. >> Yes. >> Councilman Mayor. >> Yes. >> Councilman Garcia. Yes.
>> Councilman Colany and Council President Shar. >> Thank you, Mayor. We don't know where you are, but we hope you're having a good time and a safe time. And uh we pray that uh wherever you are, everything is Pacific. >> Thank you.
>> There is We have a motion to adjurnn. >> Yes, >> we have a motion to adjurnn. We get a
